ORLANDO, FLA. - The LSU football team had barely gotten its feet on the ground when it was greeted with a hint of Louisiana.

LSU arrived Saturday for its Capital One Bowl date with Penn State on Friday and went through a light workout at Dr. Phillips High School. Preparations will continue today with a full-scale practice, the first since the team broke for Christmas.

Prior to Christmas, LSU had nine consecutive days of practice.

"We did some things we needed to do to get better, " LSU Coach Les Miles said. "There's a lot in the game plan that's in. Bits and pieces we might add, and there might be bits and pieces we subtract, to make sure we're executing well."

Miles would like to see his team execute better offensively after the Tigers struggled throughout the season. LSU's offense is ranked 108th in the nation and 11th in the SEC, ahead of only Vanderbilt.

The Tigers averaged 309.7 yards per game, 129.6 rushing. Inexperience at quarterback, a shaky performance by the offensive line and the lack of a true fullback haunted the team.

Miles, who in the preseason touted the offensive line as potentially one of the best of his tenure, declined to assign blame when asked if the line had been the most disappointing aspect of the offense.

"I think we're all a little dissatisfied with our offensive production, " he said. "I think we've had great effort from the guys in the offensive line. They'd be the first ones to say they wish they'd been more productive. I don't know that it's just the line that's the reason. It's easy to say 'that's the reason' because someone needs that very specific. There's probably more to it than that."

LSU struggled with its running game most of the season and allowed 35 sacks, most in the SEC. Sophomore quarterback Jordan Jefferson stumbled through a learning year. At times, he appeared reluctant to throw the ball, and sometimes he had trouble getting the ball before the play clock expired.

Penn State was fourth in the nation and led the Big 10 in total defense, allowing 277.1 yards per game. The Nittany Lions allowed 11.8 points per game.

Competition? LSU-Penn State isn't the only game in town. Several team activities are being held in conjunction with Champs Sports Bowl participants Miami and Wisconsin. Those teams play Tuesday at Citrus Bowl Stadium. At least the New Orleans Bowl and Sugar Bowl are two weeks apart.

Senior Bowl: The Under Armour Senior Bowl announced its rosters with four LSU players included: running back Charles Scott, offensive tackle Ciron Black, wide receiver Brandon LaFell and linebacker Harry Coleman, who will play at safety.

"I hope to prove that I am healthy and that I am back 100 percent full speed, and I am ready for the next level, " Scott said. "The surgery went great, the rehab went great, and I'm ready to play."

Barring an unforeseen injury, Black will break the LSU record for consecutive starts with his 53rd. He is tied with former Tiger and current Cincinnati Bengal Andrew Whitworth, whom Black replaced at left tackle three years ago.

"I just want to go down there and play and get better, " said Black, a second-team Walter Camp All-American who has played 3,374 career snaps. "I want to try to show the coaches at the next level that I have what it takes to play with the big boys."
